Guillermo Schelotto named new coach of Boca Juniors

Buenos Aires, March 2 (IANS) Guillermo Barros Schelotto has been appointed the new head coach of Boca Juniors, where he is considered an idol from his time there as a footballer.

Boca president, Daniel Angelici, on Tuesday confirmed the appointment to the press and said the coach would be officially presented on Wednesday, reports Xinhua.

“Guillermo was always on my mind. He has always been an idol of Boca. However, we are sad because Vasco (departing coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena) is a great person, there are mixed feelings,” said Angelici.

Barros Schelotto will replace Arruabarrena, another former player, who was fired for a string of bad results, despite winning the league and the Argentinean Cup in 2015.
